Raiden & Black Lightning Electrify in Injustice 2 Trailer

Mortal Kombat's Thunder God comes with surprise DC hero Skin!

Posted at 09/18/2017 12:50 AM EDT by

Mortal Kombat's God of Thunder is the next cab off the Fighter Pack 2 rank! An electrifying new trailer shows Raiden delivering shock and awe to the villains of Injustice 2 -- and he isn't coming alone! Watch:

Thanks to the Injustice 2 Premier Skin feature, DC Comics hero Black Lightning will also be available to players as an alternate skin for Raiden. The Justice League's electric hero should please the comic book faithful who've made him a popular request! He'll share a move set with Raiden, but come complete with his own voice acting and armored design in-keeping with The CW TV show!

For those loving a touch of Mortal Kombat in their Injustice, the god among us is breaking out a big bag of tricks! Players can look forward to trapping their foes with electric cages, delivering jolting bolts, and diving into his iconic moves! There's even an electric dragon in your future if you execute his new super-move!

Raiden follows in the fighting footsteps of downloadable villain Black Manta, and fellow Mortal Kombat guest Sub-Zero! Don't expect any more Mortal Kombat characters this time around -- that's been ruled out. The next crossover guest from Fighter Pack 2 will be independent comic book darling: Hellboy!

So this more or less confirms altered super moves for Black Lightning.

Raiden's design and his supermoves are cool af. However his specials are just carried over from MKX.

His basic animations are too.

In the past was Midway's fault, is that right Ed Boon?
But now you workfor WB, budget shouldn't be an issue, right?

NRS is talented, but lazy.

Thats what I was wondering. Will he have a MK symbol or... a DC symbol? lol That be weird.

I dont mind that Raiden has MKX moves I think its nice for it to be consistent. Im sure it plays a lot differently without having to worry about variations too.

I like consistency as well, altering the gameplay too much each time is not a good thing especially for the competitive scene.

How does it feel!? To feel-the-bern! You haters feel it up the asscrack, now ya learn!

This makes up for the bad roster choice, the shitty focus towards the lame injustice universe, everything.

I got what I wanted, now I'm content.

Thank you Jesus!

Injustice 2, on the whole, is a legacy game. I never hear these complaints thrown at Namco or Capcom. Why wouldn't it make sense to repurpose MKX Raiden for Injustice 2?

Black Lightning will likely have a different super move, Boon is teasing as much on his Twitter...

CLICK

As for Raiden himself, he looks great. I personally wasn't looking forward to his inclusion, but I'll be damned if his super move didn't put a big smile on my face.

Also, great move by NRS for including the Black Lightning skin with the ultimate edition. Hopefully this should quell some of the Raiden hate and we can all just get back to enjoying the game.

Raiden/black lightning super is awesome. I love No one hints that the move will be altered for BL. That is intriguing. Don't like raiden mask but oh well. And the premiere skin being part of the ultimate edition hopefully means I don't need in game creadits and it will already be unlocked like powergirl and john Stewart was :)

Indeed! If you own the ultimate edition, you will NOT have to pay extra for the Black Lightning skin. Tyler "First Hit" Lansdown confirmed as much on Twitter.

Also, I approve of the alternative Supermove for Black Lightning. Raiden's is better, but BL's works.

So, it's basically MKX Raiden with a fancy mask on. Talk about being lazy.

On the plus side, really like that super move with the MK dragon.

My headcanon implies that Raiden's Dragon morph is

Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
His true elder God form

Though his victory animation is rather Liu Kang esque

Cool shit. Love the nod to MK9's Elder God's posessed Raiden.

You've gotta hand it to them, though it's a shame
Black Lightning doesn't have 2 hands for...

THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE

Speaking of Raiden in nonMK games, I made a Raiden cac in DB Xenoverse 2
the other day. I posted the formula in General Discussion, but it's since been moved to Fan Submissions.
